But no, what we get is Taker in a supposed "vegetative state". I mean c'mon, really!?

For any other wrestler, that would work just fine. However, in kayfabe terms, The Undertaker has survived just about everything and essentially impervious to pain. They can't just flat out say that he hurt himself on Rey Mysterio's knee brace. That sounds like a silly thing to hurt a Phenom. I think this way keeps his mystique in tact. A buddy of mine told me that his son called him crying the other day because he thought The Undertaker was dead. At least they're invoking some emotion into SOMEONE.

On a very slightly related note, I loved the mix of Kane's theme song into the slow, somber eulogy music. That was pretty cool. I liked Kane's promo too, for some odd reason.
